Module 2 Spur Gears – Precision Metric Gears for Industrial Applications

Discover premium-quality Module 2 spur gears engineered for accuracy, strength, and efficient torque transmission. At Bolton Engineering Products Ltd (BEP Ltd), we supply an extensive range of metric spur gears, including steel spur gears, stainless steel spur gears, and specialized options such as double spur gears.

Whether you need a standard size like spur gear 2MOD 47, or a customized gear for a specific application, our collection offers durable, precision-machined gears manufactured to ISO and DIN standards for consistent and reliable performance.

What Is a Spur Gear Module?

A spur gear module defines the size and spacing of the gear teeth.
In simple terms:

Module = Pitch Diameter ÷ Number of Teeth

For Module 2 (2 MOD) gears, each tooth is designed based on a 2mm module.
Module affects:

• Tooth size
• Load capacity
• Gear ratio
• Compatibility with mating gears

Using the correct module ensures perfect meshing and efficient power transmission.

Why Choose Module 2 Spur Gears?

Module 2 spur gears are widely used across medium-load, mid-range mechanical systems where high accuracy and efficiency are essential.

How to Choose the Right Module 2 Spur Gear

Selecting the correct gear ensures smooth operation and longer system life.

1. Confirm the Gear Module

Ensure the correct module (2 MOD) for compatibility with mating gears.

2. Determine Tooth Count

Example: Spur gear 2MOD 47
Tooth count affects speed ratio and torque.

3. Select Bore Type

Options available:

• Stock bore
• Machined bore
• Keyway + set screw

4. Choose Material

• Steel → strength & durability
• Stainless steel → corrosion resistance

5. Consider the Operating Environment

Factors influencing gear choice:

• Speed
• Load
• Temperature
• Lubrication

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a spur gear module?

The module defines tooth size. 2 MOD means each tooth is designed around a 2mm pitch module, ensuring compatible meshing with other 2 MOD gears.

2. Do you supply stainless steel spur gears?

Yes. We stock stainless steel spur gears that resist corrosion and are suitable for demanding environments.

3. Can I get a 2MOD 47 spur gear?

Yes. We offer various tooth counts, including spur gear 2MOD 47, along with many other configurations.

4. What is a double spur gear?

A double spur gear has two sets of teeth, allowing it to connect two separate gear trains or provide compound gear reduction.
